Ingredients

  • block extra firm tofu

    *pressed if needed

    1 oz
  • broccoli florets
    4 c
  • olive oil
    2 tbsp
  • low sodium soy sauce
    ¼ c
  • rice vinegar
    1 tbsp
  • hot sauce

    I like chili garlic sauce or sriracha

    1 tbsp
  • garlic
    1 clove
  • arrowroot powder/corn starch
    1 tsp
  • cooked quinoa or rice
    2 c

Directions

  1. 1

    * if your tofu is still pretty soft/watery, you'll want to press it. To press it, simply place it on a paper towel-lined plate, top with another paper towel, and place something heavy (like a few cookbooks or a tea kettle/cast iron pan) on top of it. Allow the tofu to sit for at least 30 minutes. Once pressed, drain the water and cut the tofu into cubes.

  2. 2

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil, along with the broccoli and tofu. Add a splash of water + 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Cover and let cook until hot, about 5 minutes. Stir again to combine.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Whisk everything together until smooth. Pour the sauce of the tofu and broccoli and cook another 1 - 2 minutes until everything is coated and then serve immediate over quinoa or rice!

About this Recipe

Looking for a flavorful, plant-based dinner that's both healthy and satisfying? This Broccoli Tofu Stir Fry with Quinoa brings vibrant flavors and wholesome ingredients to your table, making weeknight meals a breeze.

What makes this stir fry a standout is its thoughtful combination of textures and tastes, designed for maximum flavor impact. Extra firm tofu, ideally pressed for optimal absorption, provides a substantial, satisfying bite that perfectly complements the vibrant, tender broccoli florets. The rich, nuanced sauce — a masterful blend of savory low sodium soy sauce, bright rice vinegar, and a customizable kick of hot sauce — creates a deeply satisfying umami experience that coats every element, ensuring no bland bites.

Prepare for a wonderfully balanced meal that delivers robust flavors in every forkful. You'll savor a harmonious blend of savory, slightly sweet, and tangy notes, brightened by the aromatic grated garlic and a gentle warmth from your chosen hot sauce. The broccoli retains a pleasant, tender-crisp texture, offering a refreshing contrast to the firm, substantial tofu, which readily soaks up the delicious sauce. Served over fluffy quinoa or your preferred rice, this dish is hearty yet light, leaving you feeling nourished and energized without any heaviness. It's a truly wholesome and flavorful experience.

Feel free to adjust the hot sauce to your preference, whether you love the robust kick of chili garlic sauce or the classic heat of sriracha. While the recipe suggests extra firm tofu, ensuring it's pressed will help it absorb more of that delicious sauce. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, make sure to use tamari instead of traditional soy sauce.

This Broccoli Tofu Stir Fry with Quinoa is a complete, well-rounded meal perfect for a busy weeknight or a relaxed weekend dinner. Serve it fresh and hot, letting the vibrant colors and enticing aroma invite everyone to the table.
